SOMETHING ELSE is a concert series for improvised music focused on new meetings of musicians from across Helsinki's free improv, experimental, jazz, electronic, and global music scenes, hosted on the 4th Thursday of each month at Kallio's Musta Kissa bar. New small-ensemble groupings--often first-time meetings--are highlighted each time, with an emphasis on surprise, difference, curiosity, energy, and connection.

About:
NATALIA CASTRILLÓN is a Colombian harpist, singer, improviser, composer, and educator based in Helsinki. Her work blends influences from Latin American, classical, global, and experimental improvised music. Shaped by personal experiences and attention to sound and surroundings, she creates music that moves between structure and spontaneity.
Alongside the lever harp, she also works with the llanera harp (arpa llanera), an instrument rooted in the joropo tradition of the Colombian and Venezuelan plains. Drawing inspiration from its traditional context, she approaches the instrument with curiosity, exploring it through her own improvisational practice.

EERO TIKKANEN is a powerful and expressive bassist whose musical range extends from classical to experimental music. He performs with several unconventional bands, many of which enjoy cult status, including The Mystic Revelation of Teppo Repo, Joose Keskitalo, Selma Savolainen In The Shade, Phardah, Tahmela Six and Jorma Tapio & Kaski.
Eero Tikkanen on jykevä ja ilmaisuvoimainen basisti. Hän hallitsee musiikin tyylilajit klassisesta kokeelliseen ja on mukana monessa valtavirrasta poikkeavassa, kulttimainetta nauttivassa yhtyeessä, kuten The Mystic Revelation of Teppo Repo, Joose Keskitalo, Selma Savolainen In The Shade, Phardah, Tahmela Six sekä Jorma Tapio & Kaski.
